F Loaf weight Baking programmes 1-4 allow for a pre-selection of the loaf size. The selected weight is indicated, i.e. underlined, on the LCD-display. USING THE BREAD-MAKER Your new bread-maker allows you to: - bake breads to various recipes, some of which can be found in the appendix to this manual. However, this bread-maker also allows you to use commercially available readyto-bake mixtures with up to 600g of solid ingredients (for a loaf of approx. 1000g). - mix, knead dough for bread rolls, pizza etc., and let the dough rise. Additional important instructions - Always use an oven-cloth or suitable gloves when touching the unit after use, or when handling freshly baked bread. - Only recipes with a flour content of approx. 200g - 600g should be used with this breadmaker. Should the flour content fall short of this minimum, thorough kneading of the dough cannot be ensured. Excessive flour content may result in the dough rising over the edge of the baking-tin. - In case of a power failure of less than 7 minutes during operation, the baking process automatically continues at the point of interruption. - During the kneading process, water vapour may condense on the viewing window. However, this condensation will disappear during the baking phase. - To ensure evenly baked bread, do not open the lid during the baking process. - After use, allow sufficient time for the bread-maker and the baking-tin to cool down before cleaning them thoroughly. - The baking-tin and the dough hook have an anti-stick coating. In order to avoid damage to this, do not use any metallic, hard, sharp or pointed objects on the coating. - Caution: Operating the bread-maker empty could result in damage to the unit by overheating of the empty baking-tin. Caution - In the event of any smoke coming from the baking compartment, be sure to keep the door firmly closed, but immediately remove the plug from the wall socket. Do not, under any circumstances, try to smother or extinguish smouldering dough with water. Smoke can occur as the result of dough rising over the edge of the baking-tin and touching the heating elements. It is therefore very important to follow the quantity limits given in the recipes. - Always make sure that the unit is placed well out of children's reach, especially while it is 21 operating. - Do not place the unit on soft or inflammable surfaces (e.g. carpets). Always ensure that it is placed on a firm, level work surface. Always position the unit in such a way that it cannot fall over. - Do not touch the steam vents at the rear of the unit, nor the viewing window in the lid: these parts heat up during operation. - After use, ensure that te appliance is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely before cleaning. PROGRAMME FUNCTIONS 1= STANDARD This programme is used most frequently and suitable for breads with a high content of wheat flour. 2= WHITE BREAD/FRENCH BREAD Suitable for typical light dough such as White bread/French bread. 3= WHOLEMEAL In comparison to the STANDARD setting, this programme has extended rising and baking phases, since the dough for bread with a high rye or wholemeal flour content tends to rise less strongly than dough containing wheat flour. 4= CAKES Because of its relatively high sugar content, sweet yeast dough tends to brown more quickly; in this programme, the baking phase is therefore shorter. 5= SHORT PROGRAMME, 750g Suitable for recipes up to 750g; the loaves will also turn out smaller and firmer than usual. 6= SHORT PROGRAMME, 1000g Suitable for recipes up to 1000g; the loaves will also turn out smaller and firmer than usual. 7= BISCUITS, PASTRY Suitable for preparing biscuits, when using baking powder instead of yeast. 8= WHEAT AND RYE BREAD (750g) In comparison to the STANDARD setting, this programme has a pre-heating phase and is suitable for breads with different types of flour. 9= DOUGH This programme does not include a baking phase. After the programme has finished, the dough (e.g. pizza dough) can be removed and then be baked in a conventional oven. 10 = DOUGH, LIGHT In comparison to the DOUGH setting, this dough turns out lighter. 11 = JAM, MARMALADE Suitable for preparing jam or marmalade. During preparation, make sure the baking-tin is only filled two-third with all the ingredients, since the mixture may tend to foam up. 12 = BAKING Suitable for baking dough (e.g. dough previously kneaded using the DOUGH programme). In this way, the rising phase can be modified according to the type of dough before the BAKING programme is started. ...
